so I took alittle break from the QB57 that I'm working on and grabbed some scrap's that were laying around and went to work. Basicly the same as Dan's, clipboard with the center area removed and can slide out for target replacment. Electrical putty inside on the back and bottom with a 1-1/2 peice of plywood for the backstop. I've already shot quite a few round's at it and it's quiet and safe with no pellet's coming back at me which is a plus hehehe. Thank's crazy4salmon AKA Dan for the great idea. Ed

Yeah that's a nice box that Dan did and you made a nice copy Ed. But I didn't think you liked paper, more of a live target kinda guy, guess you could get a hampster wheel and put in there,hehe.

LOL Bob...white toothpaste hehehe and cmon Gene we all got to have atleast a couple hole's in the wall hehe. I had another trap set up but had a couple bounceback out so it was time to do it up right and the wife is even liking it. I set up a pillow on the floor and a little shooting stand in front of her and she's shootin away with the Sniper B3. :) Ed

Hey Ed that looks great. Glad I could be of some assistance or motivation. I used mine in the house today when my wife took my oldest off to a birthday party. All the pellets went into the box. I did have on stray, but it went right threw the top of the clipboard and in. I was so focused on the target I clipped a piece of garland that was wrapped around the banister of the stairs. Woops no hole no foul. I did hang a couple of heavy camo coats behind just in case. My wife has always thought that she lives in a frat house. We have two boys 7 and 9. The only other girl besides my wife in the house is our 9 year old german shorthair pointer Reba. P.S. I like your clipboard better, less metal. I will keep my eye out for that model.
